Sometimes I miss being at school. I miss taking notes, and being a student in the classroom. This feeling of active learning and participating came back a few weekends ago when I attended the International Food Blogger Conference held by Foodista.com in Seattle, WA.
I would like to share these inspiring quotes and thoughts from a few of the speakers.
The first set of quotes is from Dorie Greenspan, who was the welcoming speaker at the conference. Dorie is a well-known author of many cookbooks and a well-respected and admired culinary professional. She charmed the audience with her warmth, candor, and kindness.
